Good morning John. My Bretanha Families is primarily a listing of descendants of the earliest families of Bretanha, not an ancestry. The ancestry of Thomé Furtado was a felicitous discovery which I made with the help of an Azorean-Canadian genealogist. Together we were able to trace him back to Nordeste. His ancestry had not been documented before that. So you won't necessarily get any more information regarding ancestry. My work is primarily for people interested in tying back to the original families and discovering different branches that descend from the original settlers.
I do not know if a trip to the library will be worth the time. Although each volume has a table of contents, there is no index. I will certainly try and answer any questions you might have if it helps. And, if you do go to the library, remember that we all make mistakes, and you should always verify the information presented. Many people have asked me about buying a set, but it is no longer available in print. A few years ago a gentleman from Pennsylvania bought the set on word document for his wife, whose family was from Bretanha. Let me know if I can answer any more questions. I like working on genealogical mysteries. John Miranda Raposo On Thursday, June 26, 2014 9:42 PM, 'John C' via Azores Genealogy <[email protected]> wrote: Hi John, Thanks for the info. I read that you wrote a book Mirandas of Bretanha that included some of these families. I live in Marshfield, Ma. but I was thinking of making a trip to the library to read it. Would it have more information than you already just gave me on Andre de Teves/Leonor Sousa as I saw that you listed them in volume 7. Also, would it include anything on Miguel Oliveira who married Margarida Pimentel (daughter of Tome Furtado/Lucia Carvalho) in 1707? I already have a lot of info on Tome's background which seems pretty impressive.

Matthias Benevides and Teresa Teve. I am connected to them through their daughter Teresa Teve who married Manuel Oliviera Pimentel. Does anyone have anything further on them such as their parents? The Teve/Teves family has quite a background on the island and I am trying to connect them to past generations.
